When we all become aware of details such as those given in the TIME Magazine article about Bowe's escape attempt in 2011, we become even more determined in our effort to bring Bowe home. With access to interviews of Taliban commanders, TIME writers Baker and Rawling report new details of a failed escape by Bowe last fall. FROM the ARTICLE:

“It was a brief escape, and he was easily recovered from the same area. He was not familiar with the area and route, and then the whole area was controlled by Taliban, and therefore escaping was not possible,” one of the network’s commanders says.

The Haqqanis were angry. Bergdahl had exploited the honesty, poverty and illiteracy of the men assigned to guard him, promising them that he would take them to the U.S. if they helped him escape, the militant leader says. Bergdahl was physically punished for misguiding the fighters who had tried to escape with him, says the commander, adding that the fighters had been “paralyzed,” his grim euphemism for execution."

The stage has been set and it's time to mobilize our efforts. Bob and Jani Bergdahl have courageously spoken out on Bowe's behalf. Bowe's story has hit the cover of TIME magazine. The soil is ready to be planted and all of use Bowe Supporters must sow the seed. The Bergdahl family need us to support them in this battle to rescue their son from his captors. We have to work hard to tell others about Bowe. We need to write our Members of Congress and get others to do the same. Time to put some fire under the feet of those who might be obstructing the path to Bowe's return.
